1. Astronomia Maestro Minute Repeater by Jacob & Co
After the fun, fearless and a little bit foolhardy Astronomia collection, what can Jacob & Co founder Jacob Arabo possibly do next? Having already mastered the minute repeater, the brand has broken boundaries again by adding carillon gongs and beautiful interstellar images to its already complex Astronomia Maestro line.
Three spiral gongs chime out the hours, 15-minute periods and the minutes, and can be viewed through the sapphire crystal adorning the 43.44mm rose-gold case of this Astronomia Maestro Minute Repeater. A magnesium-lacquered blue globe and hand-painted astronaut rotate on themselves, while seven planets in precious stones each perform a full revolution, making for a scene that’s always in motion.
